I keep seeing posts and comments about making Circles public. Huh? I don't see any options to make circles public. I don't think I would anyway, but some people might want to.

But has that feature been implemented? I don't see it in my Circles tab.

Actually I saw something in my stream today, from somebody at Skynet that you can create a public list and actually give other people the ability to edit it by assigning a password to it. It's along the lines of a Twitter list. I haven't however seen anything that will allow you to make existing circles public. I think I like the idea of a public list for celebs, pundits, pols etc.

There is no such thing. My prediction is that a public circle, will be very similar to a Google Groups, group.

As long as it's op-in, I don't mind. I wouldn't want people to see my circles. I only have four (arseholes, bastards, fucking cunts, pricks) and wouldn't want anyone to find out where they fit.

I Don't think there's a way to Create a Public Circle, But you can choose to post public. I Use it sometimes to promote My Website, and sometimes Funny non- nonsensical stuff, For the People who follow me, but that I don't follow back. ( Mainly Foreigners Whom I Cant Translate on the spot ) ** No offence to those Who Don't Use English, I'm not complaining.

I hate that twitter lists are, by default, public. I do think an option on g+ to create a public circle might be useful for helping connect interests or professional groups, but I would like the implementation of such an option to be carefully thought out.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
